Mary Andrews Biography

 

My love for bright colors began in elementary school when I was in charge of mixing the powdered tempera for my second grade class. Now it is powdered dye that I mix to get the colors into my hand dyed fabric. I use rubber bands, clamps, folds, stitching and pole wrapping as a form of resist before I apply the dye. Many pieces are then overdyed, bleached, painted, stamped or screen printed as a second process before it is ever cut up and sewn together to make the quilt.

 My award winning contemporary art quilts have been exhibited locally, nationally, internationally and I have curated the very successful Michigan Quilt Artist Invitational exhibit for the last 11 years. My work can be seen in several quilting books and in the collections of the Brandon Township Public Library, McLaren and Hurley Hospitals of Flint, Michigan, and I have a fabric butterfly in the garden of the C.S. Mott estate.
